Ah Jun is a very insecure mermaid.

After Bai Yu promised him that he would not leave and would always be with him, Ajun would still wake up frequently.

The first thing do when wake up is to look in the direction where Bai Yu should be, and close eyes with peace of mind when see Bai Yu.

- even if he was very tired.

It looked like he was sure again and again that Bai Yu didn't deceive him.

If he didn't see Bai Yu at first glance, his expression would show panic, and he began to search everywhere in the room until he saw Bai Yu to ease his emotions.

If you don't see...

Dragging a tired and injured body, turning it out of the fish tank and falling to the ground is already a routine operation for A-Jun.

If it wasn't for Bai Yu's discovery in time every time, he would have no doubt that A-Jun would crawl out of the room to find him.

Considering Ah Jun's current state, Bai Yu did stay in the room where Ah Jun was staying.

But besides Bai Yu, Ji Peilin also stayed here.

Although A-Jun doesn't seem to welcome Ji Peilin, Ji Peilin, who is very keen in observing what other people think, seems to be blind and takes himself and Bai Yu's little quilt to stay in A-Jun's room together. , with a very calm look.

The whole island is his, what's wrong with him resting in the guest room with Bai Yu?

A-jun was a little dissatisfied with Ji Peilin's calmness, but he didn't say anything.

From the beginning to the end, Ajun didn't say a few words to Ji Peilin.

The rare few times he opened his mouth, he was all asking, "Where did Yuyu go?"

After discovering that Bai Yu seemed to be particularly "indulgent" towards Ji Peilin, Ajun selectively ignored Ji Peilin's existence, only chasing Bai Yu with a pair of eyes, and expressing his dependence with Bai Yu.

In Ah Jun's eyes, Bai Yu is indeed different from everyone else.

This difference is not only manifested in the apparent dependence, but also in other considerations.

It was night, the moonlight from the window shone into the room, and there was a transparent sea breeze.

Bai Yu, who was sleeping soundly, sensed the approach of the shrill voice.

This sound is like...

It was like the sound of a fish tail dragging across the ground.

In addition to the sound, there is also the breath of a mermaid.

In the place where the moonlight did not shine, Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Turning his eyes away, he saw A-Jun who climbed out of the fish tank at some point, and approached him cautiously.

When he was near, A-Jun, who found Bai Yu's eyes open, was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask more, just glanced at Ji Peilin who was sleeping not far away, and then waved to Bai Yu.

He looked like he wanted to find Bai Yu alone for something.

Bai Yu lifted the small quilt covering him, and left the room as lightly as Ajun.

Their movements were really light, but after they left the room, Ji Peilin, who remained motionless as long as he fell asleep, still opened his eyes.

...

The island looks more deserted at night than during the day.

Those tough men in suits who occasionally appeared during the day could not even see their shadows at night.

Bai Yu knew that there must be men in suits on duty at night, but they didn't show up at all when it wasn't necessary.

and……

Ah Jun is better at picking places than he imagined.

He seems to be very experienced in how to avoid the sight of humans, and he can always walk through the places that can be passed with Bai Yu at the right time.

Every time he needs to go somewhere, Ah Jun will always look back at Bai Yu first, signaling that Bai Yu must be tighter to himself.

Bai Yu followed Ah Jun all the way to the outskirts of the island.

Seeing that Ah Jun was about to take him into the sea with him, Bai Yu finally said, "Ah Jun, are you taking me away?"

Ah Jun was a little nervous, he held Bai Yu's hand.

"Shall we go to a place without humans?"

"Doesn't Ah Jun like humans?"

Ah Jun nodded, "That human named Ji Peilin seems to care about you very much, but human beings can pretend to care."

Bai Yu felt that what Ah Jun said made sense.

Humans are indeed animals that can fake emotions such as caring, liking, and love, in order to achieve a certain purpose.

But Bai Yu didn't move.

"Animals camouflage to survive, but human camouflage..."

Bai Yu looked at Ah Jun.

He wanted to ask Ah Jun if he had been deceived by humans in disguise, but Ah Jun's eyes looked sad, so Bai Yu didn't ask.

Bai Yu just sighed slightly, and hugged Ah Jun.

"I think Ji Peilin didn't pretend to care about me, he really cared about me."

Ah Jun: "... how do you know?"

"I guess he's waiting in his room right now for my return?"

Ah Jun: "..."

"Ah Jun, do you want to go back with me and have a look?"

Ah Jun pursed his lips.

Bai Yu was not in a hurry, he didn't go with Ah Jun, and he didn't intend to drag Ah Jun back by force.

He just sat on the soft sand, leaning against Ah Jun.

The sea breeze at night is a bit cold, and the body temperature of mermaids is lower than that of humans.

But leaning together like this, it seems that they won't feel uncomfortable being blown by the sea breeze.

Bai Yu asked Ah Jun: "How did Ah Jun see that Ji Peilin cares about me?"

Ah Jun, who was asked in this way, thought for a while and said: "The way he looks at you...is different from other people...and..."

Originally, when Ji Peilin wanted to take a break, Ah Jun, who sneakily took Bai Yu away with him, just sat and chatted with Bai Yu on the edge of the beach for two most of the night.

After chatting like this for several hours, he still hugged the injured Ah Jun and walked back along the paved road.

When he walked back to the original room, he pushed the door open.

Ah Jun, who had been holding Bai Yu all the time, turned his head and glanced inside, and was very surprised to find that, just as Bai Yu said, Ji Peilin, who was supposed to be sleeping, was actually sitting at this time.

When the door was pushed open, Ji Peilin also turned his gaze.

Ji Peilin and Ah Jun's eyes met for a moment.

Ah Jun shrank his neck subconsciously.

It was as if he felt that Ji Peilin looked at Bai Yu differently from other people.

At this time, Ji Peilin's seemingly calm eyes gave him a chilly neck.

But Ji Peilin didn't say much, just patted the place where Bai Yu slept.

"The wind is very cold at night, so hurry up and rest."

Hearing what Ji Peilin said, Bai Yu curled his lips, feeling very good.

Bai Yu, who was in a good mood, put Ah Jun, who temporarily gave up the plan of "escape with Bai Yu", back into the fish tank.

"Have a good rest."

Ah Jun's eyes turned around Bai Yu and Ji Peilin, nodded and sank.

Seeing this, Bai Yu finally returned to sit down beside Ji Peilin, who looked very normal but was actually sulking.

Bai Yu stared at Ji Peilin's face.

Probably because of getting along for a long time, after getting the legs, his emotional response to Ji Peilin became more sensitive, and he also got to know Ji Peilin more and more.

From Ji Peilin's expressionless face, he could see "sulking".

This feeling is really...

Kind of cute.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to associate the word "a little cute" with Ji Peilin.

But Bai Yu, who felt that Ji Peilin was "a little cute" at this time, stretched out his hand to hold Ji Peilin's hand, tilted his head and looked at Ji Peilin with a smile.

After watching with a smile like this for a while, Ji Peilin was the first to lose.

"Go to sleep." Said Ji Peilin who was no longer angry.

So Bai Yu, who felt in a really good mood, lay down to rest with Ji Peilin again.

...

Tan Bo arrived on the third day after Ah Jun came to the island.

He came very early, just in time for Little Jelly to bring fresh sea fish to feed Bai Yu and Ji Peilin.

Originally, he saw Bai Yu standing on the beach from a distance, rushing to run to the island, maybe there was still a little bit of anger towards someone in his heart, but seeing the little jelly slowly emerging from the sea, he returned it to Bai Yu. In the picture of the fish in the sea, all anger and anxiety are gone.

The ship he was on stayed a little farther away.

Completely watched the whole process of the little jelly feeding the sea fish to Bai Yu, and Bai Yu greeting the men in suits on the island, and taking the sea fish away.

After finishing this, the little jelly moved towards Tan Bo's boat out of curiosity, stretched out a few tentacles, and tapped around Tan Bo's boat.

Bai Yu could understand that appearance at a glance.

Isn't this just seeing a new "figure" and wanting to see it out of curiosity?

There is nothing special about Tanbo's ship, and the color is very ordinary, so the little jelly quickly lost interest.

After Little Jelly left, the people on the boat where Tan Bo was on were greatly relieved.

This kind of close contact with sea monsters is really...

Excited too much.

Some of them were a little less courageous, and they didn't dare to come out of the cabin after Little Jelly left.

Tan Bo thought that his psychological quality was very good, but after what happened just now, he couldn't recover for a while, so he could only stand there panting, adjusting his state by the way.

He had heard about Ji Peilin raising a new sea monster.

After Ji Peilin invited a group of young people who wanted to see sea monsters and actually saw sea monsters, this matter has become public.

But he didn't expect that he would be "fortunate" to have such a close contact with the sea monster.

——It was like sailing past the abyss of death.

Regarding Tan Bo's arrival, there is no need to worry about it in vain.

Ji Peilin, who had already received Tanbo's communication, arrived late after Tanbo "passed by" Little Jelly.

He stood in front of Bai Yu, and waited until Tan Bo, who regained his strength, drove the boat close to the island, and then asked, "Mr. Tan, you can tell your purpose now."

Tan Bo looked at Ji Peilin, then at Bai Yu.

After getting in close contact with Little Jelly, Tan Bo couldn't maintain his original mood, he seemed quite "calm".

"I lost my merman, I'm sure he should be here.

"If Mr. Ji sees Ah Jun, I hope Mr. Ji can return Ah Jun to me."

"Give Ajun back to you?" Ji Peilin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tan Bo: "...Sorry, I'm just worried about Ah Jun, so..."

When Ji Peilin was communicating with Tan Bo, Bai Yu was looking up and down Tan Bo.

Tan Bo is a... a man who looks like a playboy.

I believe that if he smiles, those peach blossom eyes must be beautiful.

It's just that Tan Bo doesn't feel like laughing at all at this moment.

and……

Not only was Ajun injured when he came, but Tan Bo, who claimed to be Ajun's breeder, was also injured.

There was a very obvious bandage on Tan Bo's arm. don't know if there were other places covered by the clothes.

"If Ah Jun is your mermaid, can you explain why Ah Jun has so many wounds on his body? He even lost his scales."

"... Ah Jun's scales fell off?" Tan Bo looked very surprised.

But soon Tan Bo's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, he said in a pleading tone, "Please let me see Ah Jun quickly, I am really worried about him, he is my mermaid, I am sure not would hurt him."

"You seem to care about Ah Jun?" Bai Yu asked.

Tan Bo's reaction to this question was natural, "Of course I care about Ah Jun."

"Then why did Ah Jun leave you?" Bai Yu said with a smile, "Until you speak clearly, I think it's better for you not to meet Ah Jun."

On the night when Ah Jun tried to "escape" with Bai Yu, Bai Yu and Ah Jun chatted a lot.

Ah Jun didn't say much about his breeder.

But what Ah Jun revealed made Bai Yu realize that there was a big problem between Ah Jun and his breeder.

After listening to Bai Yu's words, Tan Bo turned his gaze to Ji Peilin.

Ji Peilin said bluntly: "Xiaoyu's words are what I mean."

After hearing this sentence, Tan Bo had to take a deep breath, and then said: "Well, in fact, there are many things I don't understand why."
